The clinic for diagnostic and interventional Neuroradiology is a central service provider for the Stuttgart hospital and for all hospitals in the city and region of Stuttgart and in this capacity is ready to provide services around the clock. The primary task of the clinic is to diagnose diseases of the brain, spine and spinal cord and performing all invasive diagnosis and all neuro-endovascular treatments. In addition, diagnosis of diseases in the skull base area as well as in the eye, ear and jaw joint areas is also provided. CT-guided biopsies, biopsies and therapeutic interventions in the spine, such as vertebroplasty, periradicular infiltrations and facet blocks are performed.
